Postpartum Psychosis A HISTORICAL OUTLINE The observation that a relationship may exist between childbirth and the onset of mental disorder is not a recent one; it was already mentioned in the classical writings of the ancient Greeks. In fact, more "recent" scientific literature of the past 200 years contains a large number of publications on the subject, the descriptions, and reflections of which often turn out to be remarkably relevant to our times.

The mother may seem to lose contact with reality, have a delusion, hallucinations extreme mood swings, and behave abnormally. She can suffer from intense agitation and anxiety; insomnia and very early waking are also the sign of this catastrophic
K-Tape ( Part -2 ) INTRODUCTION There are 6 current corrective application techniques: mechanical, fascia, space, ligament/tendon, function, and space. 1. MECHANICAL CORRECTION The Mechanical Correction can be used to either position the tissue in the desired position, provide stimulus in which the body will adjust the position to minimize the created tension or provide a "blocking" action of joint or tissue movement. there are 3 methods of application: A. Application of Y technique (Tension on tail ) This technique uses the "recoil" effect of the elastic qualities of the tape to position the tissue in the direction of the base of the Kinesio strip. By using tension in the tails, the practitioner is applying a subtle stimulus. B. Application of Y technique (With tension on base ) This technique uses the base of the Y cut to apply tension to the skin. The amount of stretch applied to the Kinesio strip and the degree of inward pressure determine the depth and pe
